BABEL
BABEL is a « dance-umentary », a documentary you can dance to. Conceived as an immersive and interactive audiovisual concert, it is inspired by the biblical myth of the Tower of Babel to explore Humanity in its diversity and unity.

COLLATERAL ECHOES VR
COLLATERAL ECHOES is a new VR artwork. It is concerned with the 150+ Black Britons who have died at the hands of the police since records began in 1969.
Through sensorial renderings of archival images, artefacts and oral testimonies from those bereaved this work questions how personal commemoration might be experienced as a collective memorial.

Ghost Genes
Ghost Genes is a science-seance that uses embodied technology for a convening with the ghosts within our DNA, and within the history of genetics. It asks who creates the parameters of our identities, the origins of those narratives, and invites the audience to listen to the whispers of the ghosts that haunt their genes.

The Forest That Breaths Us
A virtual reality experience made collaboratively with ground-breaking forest ecologist Suzanne Simard, The Forest That Breaths Us transports participants into a perspective of unfathomable interconnection by taking them inside the complex communication networks, familial relationships, memories and agency of a forest.

Unstable Evidence
You’ve gone viral in a social media video; but it’s not “you”, rather a digital version that looks and sounds just like you making statements you least believe in. As AI and deepfake technologies develop at a startling pace, evidence is becoming destabilised. We must prepare ourselves.

Zedna
